- TriviaVincent Price had to work hard could to convince producer Joseph L. Mankiewicz to cast him as Van Ryn. Mankiewicz remembered him as the good-natured guy in Laura (1944) or as a portly prelate in his last film,The Keys of the Kingdom (1944). But determined to convince him, Price lost the 30lbs he had gained for the film, auditioned, and won the coveted role.
- GoofsAs Miranda and Van Ryn dance through the doorway from the balcony into the ballroom, she holds her closed fan in her hand. When the shot changes after they enter the room, the fan dangles from her wrist.
- Quotes
Nicholas Van Ryn: But I will not live by ordinary standards. I will not run with the pack. I will not be chained into a routine of living which is the same for others. I will not look to the ground and move on the ground with the rest: so long as there are those mountaintops, and clouds, and limitless space.
